Capcom Teases More Mega Man

Mega Man has held a special place in gaming for me since I first played Mega Man 1 back in the day.  At first, I thought the game was easy…until I fought the level boss.  It was then that I realized there was going to be some strategy involved in this seemingly normal side scroller.  I was hooked.

A Little Of This, A Little of That

While we anxiously await the announcement of the Wii U release date and pricing, Nintendo news has been somewhat low key.  So rather than focus on one topic, I thought I would share a few “happenings” in the Nintendo Universe.
